Interested in Creating or Joining a CTF Team? Click here!

Teams are groups of CTF players looking to work together to beat other teams, get to know more people in the CTF community, get better at the game, or just have fun with other players.

1. Head over the the teams forum category to find teams recruiting. Although not all teams are recruiting, most will be. Some teams may be at a max of 25 players and be unable to recruit more.
2. If the team is recruiting, find their application process and apply. Each team has their own process of applying (an application to fill out, PMing the team leader or representative, etc) and different requirements to join the team, or no requirements at all. If you’re accepted, the team will tell you what to do from there.

Before making a team, we strongly recommend first participating in a team to get a feel for the responsibilities and requirements of a team leader/representative. The role requires responsibility and activity, whether it’s in-game, on the forums, or on skype. If you feel you're ready:

In order to make an official team, you must have a CTF moderator approve your team by PMing them on skype or on the forums. This is to prevent random teams from being created and spamming the teams section. Include the following information when contacting a mod:

• 10-25 members
• Team name
• Team representative (see roles section for info)

Then, once your team is approved:

• Post in the CTF Teams section. Be sure to mark your team as [Pending] even though you've been approved.
• Wait for the end of the month, then switch your thread to [Official]. Woo!
• Request permission to be added into the Team Representative skype chat.

Make sure your forum thread is up to date! Anytime a member changes their name, change it on the thread as well.




Leader

• Not required
• Responsibilities:
  • Make team decisions
  • Create the team thread
  • Handle recruits

Player(s) in the leadership position. Leaders are usually given responsibility to have the final say in what happens to the team, create the team thread, or handle the recruitment process. Responsibilities and leadership structure varies per team.

Representative

• Required (1)
• Responsibilities:
  • Be a member of representative Skype chat
  • Plan matches
  • Handle relations with other teams

A single player chosen to represent the team in the Team Representative skype chat. For this reason, all representatives must have a skype account for ease of communication (please note, you are not required to join calls). All official teams MUST have a representative, as they will be the ones planning matches. The leader and the representative can be the same player, but it is not required.

Member

• Required (10 to 25)
• Responsibilities:
  • Be cool.

Players making up the team. They can participate in official and unofficial matches. Note: Members may be divided up further per team set-up.

Mercenaries

• Not required
• Responsibilities:
  • Be cool.

Players able to play in unofficial matches only.

Note: One player, one team. A player (including alternate accounts) cannot be a member on multiple teams. If you wish to be on multiple teams at once, apply to be a mercenary.

Warning System
The system works via strikes given to teams/players at a moderator’s discretion. Team strikes are given to an entire team, whereas player strikes are given to individual players.

After one strike, a player/team cannot participate in/plan any team matches for a month. After 3 strikes, the player may be banned from joining teams (or a team forced to disband).

Player Disputes
If a player has some sort of problem (whether that be with another player, a team, a rule or regulation, etc.) that cannot be resolved on its own, contact a moderator on skype or PM on the forums, and we’ll look into the issue and hopefully resolve it.

Punishments
Failure to abide by match rules or display good sportsmanship can result in a strike. Depending on the severity and amount of strikes per player, the team may also receive a strike based on moderator’s discretion.

Players in-game or during an official match failing to follow a rule may be sent off for 1-5 minutes depending on the moderator’s discretion. This can escalate to a team strike if more than one player is involved.

If a player is banned from playing within a team, they cannot join another team until their team suspension is over.

Teams constantly failing to abide by rules enforced can be shut down at a moderator’s discretion. The team leader and representative will always be contacted first, and a formal explanation will be made public if this happens.

And that's it! Go join a team and have fun. Was something not covered? Still confused? Feel free to leave questions / comments below!

Keep in mind that the above info is subject to change, so keep tabs on this thread until teams are figured out.

Happy CTFing!
